Chapter 236 Are you willing to go to the grassland? (fifth update)

Lin Cunde ordered Xu Xianyong to lead troops to Yingzhou and Jinzhou to block the sea route south from Zhu Qi Town. This is the most important!

Lin Cunde's inner consideration is that he can let Zhu Qizhen control most of Liaodong Town, but he must not let Zhu Qizhen leave Liaodong Town!

Even if Zhu Qizhen controls most of Liaodong Town, he can drive him out and let him go to the grassland. Once he leaves Liaodong Town, it will be troublesome. It is estimated that he will have to divide the river to rule. This is a huge disaster for the people, and also for ourselves!

After Lin Cunde ordered the two of them, he said to Shi Heng: "You take the heavy armor, five thousand light cavalry and infantry, and chase them to Qianbei Town to see if you can catch up with Wala's army! I will lead the infantry. Behind me, come to you quickly!

If anything changes, I will send someone to inform you, and you can just execute the order immediately! "

"Don't worry, sir!" Shi Heng immediately said with his hands towards Lin Cunde.

"Go and make arrangements!" Lin Cunde said to Shi Heng, and Shi Heng went out immediately!

Sitting on the map, Lin Cunde actually knew in his heart that Zhu Qi Town was in Qianbei Town. He could send troops to the Yizhou Acropolis area to block him, but he didn't dare to gamble!

In addition, he didn't know what was going on with Cao Yi. Although it seemed that Zhu Qizhen had not surrendered, who knew whether it was a fraud.

If there was fraud, it would be a trivial matter for the two armies to fight. Lin Cunde was afraid that the situation would get out of control, and he would become the sinner of the Ming Dynasty!

Soon, the three of them set off. Lin Cunde led two thousand cavalry and thirty thousand infantry towards Qianbei Town.

The infantry's march was slow, and there was no other way. In one day, it was only seventy or eighty miles. If you wanted to reach Qianbei Town, you could reach there in three days on foot. But if it’s a cavalry, it can take up to a day and a half!

After all, war horses also need to rest, and the weather is so hot, they also need to replenish water and fodder when marching!

Theoretically, you can march two to three hundred miles a day, but in reality, it is only more than a hundred miles and less than two hundred miles. The endurance of war horses is not very strong. If you run for a long time, you will kill the horse!

Lin Cunde led the infantry and set off towards Qianbei Town.

We had just been marching for less than two hours, and it was getting a little dark. At this moment, a group of rangers came from a distance, and they were the rangers released by Lin Cunde!

"Sir, we just discovered the messengers from the Liaodong Town Commander's Department. They are looking for you!" A man from a hundred families got off his horse and said to Lin Cunde.

"Bring it here!" Lin Cunde immediately ordered.

Soon, three messengers were brought over. They saw that Lin Cunde was so young, and they couldn't believe it. Lin Cunde didn't pay attention to their expressions. After all, it was a little dark, but asked directly: "Who asked you? Looking for me?"

The three messengers knelt down on one knee, took out the letter, presented it with both hands, and said: "General Officer Cao of Liaodong Town sent us to find your Excellency!"

Lin Cunli immediately went over to take the letter, opened it, and unfolded the letter. After making sure there was no problem, he gave it to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde took it and unfolded it. There were guards holding torches next to him!

Cao Yi said in the letter that the Oara army coerced the emperor to retreat to Yizhou Guard City in the west. Cao Yi sent out all the cavalry in his hand in order to limit the speed of Oara's retreat, and asked Lin Cunde to send out all his cavalry to coordinate with them. Chase together and kill as many Wara cavalry as possible.

After reading the letter, Lin Cunde put it away, then looked at the three messengers in front of him and asked, "Didn't the Wala army attack Qianbei Town?"

"Sir, no, Wala retreated just after arriving at Qianbei Town!" One of the messengers answered with his hands raised.

Lin Cunde nodded, and then asked: "Do you know when Wala retreated?"

"Sir, we will retreat around early noon!" the messenger continued to answer.

"Take them to rest and give them water and dry food!" Lin Cunde said to a guard beside him.

Then Lin Cunde asked Lin Cunli to open the map. Lin Cunde looked at the map and began to see how to march!

Of course, Lin Cunde will not go to Yizhou Acropolis. There is no need for Lin Cunde to go there. Lin Cunde can just lead the infantry to Qianbei Town!

After all, by the time the infantry arrives at Uiju Acropolis, the fight there may have been completed, which is completely unnecessary!

Moreover, Lin Cunde still couldn't completely believe Cao Yi!

"Come here, inform General Shi Heng to change the route and go directly to Uiju Acropolis. Join Yang Xiangzheng to attack Uiju Acropolis. If the soldiers of Uiju Acropolis surrender, do not kill them. Wait for the court to decide. If you do not surrender, Kill!" Lin Cunde said to the hundred households in front of him, this killing sound was very cold!

As Lin Cunde's old subordinates, those people all know that Lin Cunde seems harmless to humans and animals, and has a good heart. But facing his opponent, Lin Cunde doesn't care who you are, and he kills people without blinking an eye! The soldiers liked Lin Cunde's character very much. He was like a spring breeze to his brothers and ruthless to his enemies!

"Yes!" That Baihu immediately got on his horse, changed direction, and pursued Shi Heng.

"Let the soldiers eat while marching and continue marching tonight!" Lin Cunde said to the commanders around him. Originally, Lin Cunde did not plan to march at night, but now, the situation has changed, and Wala is retreating, so Lin Cunde I just thought that I would walk a little longer at night. At noon, the weather was too hot, so I would let the soldiers rest more!

The soldiers also like to march at night, it's cool!

At midnight, Lin Cunde and the others passed by a forest. Lin Cunde asked the soldiers to stop marching. Soon, the soldiers lit a fire to drive away mosquitoes, and they also needed to boil water. Lin Cunde's request for his soldiers was that unless As a last resort, you are not allowed to drink unboiled water directly, so the soldiers will boil the water in advance, wait for it to cool, add salt, and put it into the kettle!

Lin Cunde was sleeping in the wild at the moment. Originally, the soldiers wanted to build a tent for Lin Cunde, but Lin Cunde refused. Lin Cunde wanted the soldiers to rest early because they would march again at dawn tomorrow! Lin Cunde also didn’t want the soldiers to be too tired, so he could sleep as much as he could!

The next day, it was dawn, and Lin Cunde led the soldiers to continue marching!

On Shi Heng's side, Shi Heng also ordered the soldiers to march and quickly attack Yiju Acropolis.

The same is true for Yang Xiangzheng. He is now very close to Yiju Acropolis and is expected to arrive before now!

On the Wala side, Wala marched all night last night! Don't dare to stay for a moment! At dawn, they arrived at Yiju Acropolis!

If we march normally, we may not be able to arrive tomorrow night!

He also led more than 10,000 people and Zhu Qizhen to retreat first. The other troops were still blocking Ming's pursuers.

In addition, there were 8,000 people in Uiju Acropolis before. Together, there were almost 20,000 people.

There are still 17,800 Ming troops who surrendered in Yizhou Guard City before, and now they are also guarding the city wall.

Jiang Chenlong saw the Wala army coming back and was very confused, thinking how could Qianbei Town be defeated so quickly. Even if they were defeated, they would not come back in such a mess. They must have suffered a defeat.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chenlong went over to find Zhu Qizhen.

When I arrived at Zhu Qizhen's residence, I found Zhu Qizhen sitting there, very haggard and a little dull.

"My lord, pay homage to your majesty!" Jiang Chenlong arrived in front of Zhu Qizhen and raised his hands to Zhu Qizhen.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhu Qizhen finally woke up and asked Jiang Chenlong in front of him.

"Your Majesty, why are you back so soon? Cao Yi didn't follow Your Majesty? How dare Cao Yi be so ungrateful?" Jiang Chenlong looked at Zhu Qizhen nervously and asked!

On the way here, Jiang Chenlong felt bad and felt regretful. If they had not been able to persuade Cao Yi to surrender, it would have been difficult for him to gain a foothold in Liaodong Town! They can't stay here for long. After all, the supplies of Yiju Acropolis are limited. It can support the army for two months. After two months, they still can't hold it!

Jiang Chenlong was very scared in his heart. He was worried that if Zhu Qizhen wanted to retreat, where would he go? His family will probably be killed! I used to take refuge in Zhu Qizhen because I wanted to be able to follow the dragon. Now it seems that it is probably difficult.

"Well, Cao Yi is an ungrateful villain. I personally went to shout for him, but Cao Yi didn't even open the city gate. I treated Cao Yi very well and personally promoted him to Liaodong Town. I didn't expect that he would treat me like this!" When Zhu Qizhen heard Jiang Chenlong mention Cao Yi, he gritted his teeth angrily and cursed.

"This, this!" Jiang Chenlong looked at Zhu Qizhen in surprise, and then asked: "What should we do next? Should we conquer other acropolis? I believe that the commanders of other acropolis will be willing to follow His Majesty’s!”

Zhu Qizhen didn't say anything, knowing in his heart that it was impossible. If he was willing to follow, I'm afraid their reply would have come long ago!

I haven't received a reply so far. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

"Well, are you willing to go to the grassland with me?" Zhu Qizhen looked at Jiang Chenlong and asked.

"What, grass, grassland?" Jiang Chenlong looked at Zhu Qizhen in shock!

When you go to some grassland, aren't you talking about restoration? Didn’t you say you were going to Nanjing? Didn’t he say that he wanted to regain the throne? How to go to the grassland now?

What can I do if I go to the grassland by myself? Even if he is willing, his subordinates are not willing!

When they mutiny, big problems will arise.

"Yes, go to the grassland!" Zhu Qizhen asked seriously, staring at Jiang Chenlong!

"Your Majesty, isn't it possible here? We can use this as our base to conquer other acropolis, or we can go straight to Jinzhou or Yingzhou and take a boat south. What's the use of going to the grassland?" Jiang Chenlong said to Zhu Qizhen asked with his hands raised.

"Well, Wala was defeated in Shanhaiguan. The 50,000 cavalry led by Azizhiyuan were completely wiped out. Now, it is estimated that the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan have set off. After sorting out the supplies here in the past two days, we are expected to withdraw to the grassland. Go!" Zhu Qizhen reluctantly told Jiang Chenlong the truth.

After hearing this, Jiang Chenlong looked at Zhu Qizhen with dull eyes.

I was cursing my mother inside, I have never seen such a deceptive person!
